On MotherÂ’s Day Give Her a Tear of Joy, Be a Scholar










Maui, HI (PRWEB) April 13, 2005

MotherÂ’s Day is just around the corner. Kids, donÂ’t just say thanks. Make Mom proud! She deserves it! Tell Mom that youÂ’ll win scholarships. Mom will be thrilled! Imagine receiving a school or community recognition. Scholarships start in middle school when you get passionate about scholastics, school, community, and work ethic. All it takes is building that passion. Your passion will grow out of MomÂ’s genuine praise. Genuine praise results when MomÂ’s encouragement is real and heartfelt. If your family does not regularly encourage scholastics, talk to Mom about reinventing your encouragement traditions.

Does your family set aside an actual encouragement time where Mom can award genuine praise? Mom, by committing to a monthly family praise event, your kids will enthusiastically anticipate that day each and every month, that parental high five! Kids will walk an extra mile knowing Mom is about to give them a genuine hug of affection! Praising your student’s achievements will motivate and build their gifts into real passions. Imagine, no more nagging, just more praising. The kids love it! And encouraging achievements that lead to school recognitions will lead to college scholarships and those full tuition waivers – and there are over $ 14 billion in scholarship grants awarded every year. The average private college cost $ 27,677 and over four years it’s more than $ 100,000. Early encouragement systems can result in huge scholarships!

Some of us are not sure what to praise or encourage, or even how to provide encouragement. A newly released book, “The $ 100,000 Scholarship: Middle School Prep” provides a praise system with an achievement matrix. Reviewers say this system will change your life – and the top ten book endorsements include school principals, a Mayor, a Governor, and the New York Times. Parents, is your 7th grader headed for college? Parental encouragement will need to begin during the middle school (crossroad) years to give students the edge in the scholarship competition during high school.

Many parents realize scholarships won’t pay for all college expenses and are already putting a little away for college each month. “The $ 100,000 Scholarship” says use the college savings money in an incentive plan instead. Rewarding achievements with college fund deposits is a huge incentive that compliments a genuine praise system.

“EditorÂ’s note: Wayne Fujita, author of “The $ 100,000 Scholarship: Middle School Prep” and CPA/finance officer under three Maui Mayors, has designed many successful incentive compensation plans. HeÂ’s also evaluated and scored foundation scholarships. His daughter Lisa was last yearÂ’s Miss Outstanding Teenager of Hawaii and his son John earned tuition waivers as an Outstanding Chemistry Student at both Pacific University in Oregon and the University of Hawaii. Fujita says, “The amazing thing is that when my kids were in elementary school they were average or just above average students. I had no idea how far they would go. Parents, be prepared for a real surprise! All the kids need is a desire to grow their passion and parental encouragement.” For more information, visit http://www.wayneyfujita.bravehost.com. “The $ 100,000 Scholarship: Middle School Prep”

Need Help Paying For College Textbooks? Meet A Teenager With Money To Give

Need Help Paying For College Textbooks? Meet A Teenager With Money To Give











At 17 years old, Dave Lanning, Jr. founded Beans For Books to give textbook grants to students in need.


Charlestown, RI (PRWEB) July 9, 2008

Dave Lanning, Jr. still has a year and a half before entering college. So, why is this Rhode Island teenager thinking about the cost of college textbooks instead of spending his summer days at the beach?

You could say it’s his job.

At seventeen, Lanning is the president and founder of Beans For Books. This Non-Profit Charity collects donations from businesses and individuals to fund college grants for textbooks that the organization awards to students.

“It took a while to get the legalities of becoming a non-profit done”, Lanning said. “After spending all the money I earned working last summer for filing and lawyers’ fees, I’m proud to say that we are now an official 501(c)(3) charity”.

Along with his Board of Directors, four of his high school classmates, Lanning spends his summer days knocking on doors asking for donations for the organization. The group reports that even in these poor economic times, people are making very generous donations.

“Just do a quick search online and you’ll find astonishing figures about the cost of college textbooks,” Lanning said. “Did you know that college textbooks have risen at twice the rate of annual inflation over the last two decades? It’s scary.”

Students and their families spend over $ 6 billion a year on new and used textbooks according to a study conducted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. And, this figure is sure to continue climbing as publishers include more interactive components to textbooks such as CDs.

Beans For Books plans to award grants each school semester, with the first application deadline approaching on August 8, 2008. “On average, students spend $ 900 a year on books,” states Lanning. “Beans For Books awards college grants for textbooks in $ 500 and $ 1,000 amounts.” Students apply online for grants at http://www.BeansForBooks.org and Lanning, along with his Board of Directors, then review the applications.

The organization was recently approved and added to the list of grant providers on http://www.FastWeb.com , which helps students find grants and scholarships. “It was amazing to see that thousands of applications came in so fast,” said Lanning. “In about twelve hours, we received more than 2,480 online applications. Our website almost had a meltdown.”

Lanning’s focus now is spreading the organization to colleges and universities across the country. “We need to open a Beans For Books Chapter on every college campus and replicate our fundraising efforts,” says Lanning. “It’s clear that textbooks are very expensive and students need help. Beans For Books provides that help.”

For more information, or to make an online donation, visit the organizations official website at http://www.BeansForBooks.org

Parents Learn to Give Their Teens the Gift of Money Smarts This Holiday Season

Category : Teen Fitness

New York, NY (PRWEB) December 12, 2005

Virgin Mobile USA and The Financial Fitness Coach, have teamed up to help parents educate their teens on making smart buying choices and to promote financial literacy lessons that will last a lifetime in a series of live national radio interviews scheduled December 12 through December 15, 2005.

“Many teens have their own purchasing power and don’t want to wait for their parents to buy them the latest gadgets they crave, so now more than ever parents need to provide a balance between helping their teens be financially independent and teaching them to become educated consumers.” says Sanyika Calloway Boyce, Financial Fitness Coach and author of Teen Money Tips: Simple Steps For Banking, Saving & Making Money.

With a mission to make the holiday season a lot less stressful for parents and happier for teens, Virgin Mobile USA, has named Sanyika Calloway Boyce as the spokesperson for their holiday media campaign, “Teens and Money: Smart Choices for 2006.”

Listeners who tune in to one of several live national radio interviews scheduled to air this week will hear useful information on how to avoid the hidden costs of cell phone family plans, choosing the best credit cards to teach teens financial independence and tips for opening high yield savings accounts with holiday money.

According to the National Council on Economic Education, only 26% of teens and young adults say their parents taught them how to manage money. As a former debt strapped college student Sanyika Calloway Boyce knows what can happen when out-of-control spending clashes with a lack of financial education.

“Often parents of college age students struggle with teaching them about money while they’re away at school. A simple solution is for parents to give teens access to the money they’ll need for school expenses by using a pre-loaded debit card or co-signed credit card to help them set limits and work within a budget,” says Calloway Boyce.

The “Teens and Money: Smart Choices for 2006” campaign will empower parents tuning in to the live radio interviews with the ability to give their teens the gift of money smarts. Listeners will also get details on how to receive a complimentary copy of “Teen Money Tips” courtesy of Virgin Mobile USA. And with January being Financial Wellness Month it is the right time for all family members to commit to making better money choices.

Can you give me some new scrapbooking embellishment ideas?

Category : Scrapbooking

Question by Strawberry: Can you give me some new scrapbooking embellishment ideas?
Looking to add some jazz to my scrapbook pages but don’t want to use the typical embellishments like brads and simple stickers. Anyone have scrapbooking embellishment ideas that are unique and fun?

Best answer:

Answer by dancindharma
You should check out paper quilling for scrapbooking embellishments…you can make some really cool quilled patterns and its not all that expensive to buy the materials (although not available in most stores, so you have to get online.) Quilling is a great way to embellish your scrapbooks. If you don’t know what it is, its basically coiling thin strips of paper into fun designs like quilled flowers, animals, letters, etc. I discovered it not too long ago and I think its pretty cool and definitely a neat paper embellishment for scrapbooks; plus its pretty unique! You can check it out at http://www.LearnQuilling.com and watch the free video lesson on quilling to see what I mean. Enjoy your scrapbooking! Hope that gives you a good idea to use for your pages!

What do you think? Answer below!

Kaplan Survey: Today’s Teens Are Much More Likely To Give Parents Full Facebook Profile Access Than No Access At All

Category : Teen Facebook





Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions Student Facebook Poll Results


New York, NY (PRWEB) June 2, 2010

A new Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions survey* of high school students reports that of teens who say their parents are on Facebook, a much higher percentage (56%) provide their parents with full profile access – status updates, party photos and all – than with no access at all (34%). Only 9% of teens give their parents limited access. However, 58% of teens report that their parents are not on Facebook at all – though moms are more likely to have Facebook profiles (35%) than dads (27%). In keeping with the gender differential in Facebook presence, moms are somewhat more likely to have full Facebook access to their teens’ profiles (56%) than dads (49%).

Teens’ relative comfort level with having a “full access” Facebook relationship with their parents may be due to the high degree of involvement today’s parents have in their children’s lives otherwise. According to the survey, 81% of teens report their parents are “very” or “somewhat” involved in their academic work – a fact of life that may be a motivating factor in their studies. In fact, 37% of teens reported they would have put more effort into their SAT or ACT prep courses had their parents been able to track their course progress.

“In a Facebook era, the online arena serves as a new channel for parents to keep tabs on what and how their kids are doing, and it’s notable that a sizeable percentage of today’s teens seem comfortable with that dynamic,” said Justin Serrano, Senior Vice President, Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions. “But for the most part, the parent-teen online relationship is still relatively uncharted territory. What we’re seeing is that parents are increasingly expressing interest in being able to monitor their kids’ progress online, and teens are adjusting to this in different ways.”

Reflecting parent interest as well as a growing trend among school districts around the country, Kaplan’s new SAT and ACT course, debuting in June, allows parents to track their child’s attendance, progress on each assignment, and performance on every practice exam and tested topic through on-demand parent reports. Kaplan’s new course will also be the first and only test prep program to integrate into its curriculum the learning best practices of differentiated instruction (in which teachers tailor their instruction and adjust the curriculum to individual students’ needs) and blended learning (mixing different learning environments for effective reinforced learning – e.g. online and classroom). The course’s unique combination of these educational best practices and revolutionary personalization technology sets the new standard in test preparation.

*Results were based on the answers of 973 aspiring college students who took the April ACT or May SAT and prepared for the exams with Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions.
